mart1 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 First thing in the morning when I start the v up the engine sounds a bit rough, but when it has warmed up after about 5 mins its a different engine sounds lovely, are they all like this? It's just that my last v I had about for yr ago didn't sound as rough first thing on start up but that one only had 23000 miles & this one has 55000 on the clock, is this normal am I worrying over nothing?

patman Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think the best thing to do here mate is upload a video of when you first start it up in the mornings open the bonnet start the car up and bring the camera round to the engine that way people can say what they think 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mart1 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Do you service it regularly? and what does it rev to when you first turn it on in a morning?Hi I have not had the car long, no service history, although I served it a couple of weeks ago Castrol Magnatec semi 10/40 oil, it revs over 1,1/2 then settles fine.
